New Elite, A, B and C Linear Courses
    Elite Course - Estimated winning time: 11 hours over two days
    A Course - Estimated winning time: 10 hours over two days
    B Course - Estimated winning time: 9 hours over two days
    C Course - Estimated winning time: 9 hours over two days

The Elite, A, B and C Course are linear courses where participants must visit a certain number of checkpoints in the correct order – as defined by the organisers. The linear courses still have route choice between controls and are suited for those that wish to try something less complex than the Score Courses, when it comes to topographic decision making! Approximate length and height gains over two days would be:
    Elite Course - 70km with 3,500m ascent
    A Course - 60km with 2,800m ascent
    B Course - 50km with 2,500m ascent
    C Course - 40km with 2,000m ascent

New GPS Linear Course

This innovative new course is ideal for novice participants and offers a linear route that is a similar standard to a regular mountain marathon C Course. The aim of the GPS Linear Course is to offer a pathway for new participants to get into mountain marathons. This is the only course where GPS devices that aid navigation are allowed.?

This GPS navigational device could be a traditional GPS pouch-and-handheld, a wristwatch GPS or a?smartphone! Some participants will certainly choose to use a device that can be uploaded with topographic mapping, but please note that presently this would likely be Ordnance Survey or Open Mapping, and not a digital version of Harvey's mapping. All participants receive a Harvey's waterproof paper map – including the GPS Linear Course participants.
